During the procession to the Chavadi, Sai Baba was surrounded by a close group of devotees who each had a specific role. As mentioned in Chapter 37, Tatyaba Patil held Baba's left hand, while Mhalasapati held His right hand, guiding and supporting Him. Bapusaheb Jog held a large umbrella over Baba's head to shelter Him. Additionally, two chowrie-bearers walked on either side, fanning Him with ceremonial fans. A mace-bearer walked in front, shouting Sai's name, and a herald would announce Baba's movements. This entire entourage, including the adorned horse Shyamakarna, created a royal and reverent procession.
